    OK I've updated the file. No apparent difference, the sound problem is still there and it still won't restart, but good to know that I do still have the latest version.
  2. Dave-H
    Thanks, in that case I will update it.
  3. Dave-H
    Is this a later version than the one I have, which is '5,1,2600,7777 built by: Administrator' with modified date 09 May 2022, 20:21:16?
  4. Dave-H
    Do you think seriously that I should downgrade to version 13.0 then? I'm quite happy to do that as long as my existing profile will still work.

    English only in this forum please.

    That's why I didn't click on anything, I don't want that performance again!

    Another interesting thing I've run across with v13.5. If you enable the 'Enable prerender' option in the speedup dialogue, instead of the usual popup when the system thinks it need cleaning, I get a smaller different popup, and when I click on it, instead of the usual options window I get this - Some sort of Chinese optimisation software perhaps? Needless to say I haven't clicked on any of it!

    That's brilliant, thank you so much!
  9. Dave-H
    Ah thanks, that makes perfect sense! I had already tried adding image.email.tfl.gov.uk to the entries in the various sections of config.ini, but it seemed to make no difference. I will try again!

    Thanks both! I wonder why it works for @RainyShadow and not for me if we're using the same proxy server? As I said, it does work for me in Google Chrome 49 too, which would seem to indicate that it's a problem just with my IE8 setup.

    Just an aside query. I get an e-mail every week from the transport system here in London, which always has a banner image header. The images did not work in my e-mail program for a long time, as it uses the Internet Explorer engine to display messages, and the images often failed on XP because of certificate problems. This came good after I started using a proxy server, but it has now failed again. Strangely the failure now only seems to be with IE8, the image displays fine in Google Chrome 49 and 360Chrome using the IE Proxy mode. It's fine anyway in Firefox of course. I can't identify when it started failing again, I don't think it was when I switched from HTTPSProxy back to ProxHTTPSProxy, but it might have been. Chrome 49 uses ProxHTTPSProxy though, and it's fine there. Can anyone else see if they can display this image in IE8? https://image.email.tfl.gov.uk/lib/fe3e15707564047c731479/m/2/ae4f07c2-52c6-4bb3-ac03-7ac5d4dd1865.jpg If not, I wonder what's wrong?
  12. Dave-H
    Fine by me, but I'll bring this to the attention of @Tripredacus and @dencorso in case they have any reservations about it.
  13. Dave-H
    That's good to know. I'm afraid I can't immediately identify anyone here specifically who could do this. I seem to remember that @heinoganda was very much a one-man band, and I don't remember anyone else directly contributing to his work.
  14. Dave-H
    Ah OK, thanks! That's a bit disappointing, but at least the potential is there to add the necessary TLS 1.3 support. Now we just need someone to do it!
  15. Dave-H
    My apologies @VistaLover, I've just realised that I never responded to this! I did try this out, and the answer (in IE8) on TLS 1.3 was 'no' I'm afraid. Is there something else that needs to be configured, I wonder?
  16. Dave-H
    Well it doesn't really need a tutorial, at least not for anyone here I would have thought. As long as you have the Devcon program, which is readily downloadable, you just need to put it somewhere where it can be found, such as the \Windows\System32 folder, and put those commands into a text file and save them as a .bat batch file. @Damnation would obviously have to put in the appropriate ID for his problem device. How you run it doesn't really matter I wouldn't have thought, you could run it manually after boot if you want to, or from the registry or just put it in the startup folder as I did. I'm not sure whether the most recent versions of Devcon work on XP, so just in case an XP compatible version is now hard to find, I've attached mine. DEVCON.zip
  17. Dave-H
    Just to say that I've found a very crude workaround for the sound problem. I've made a batch file with devcon disable "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0F04*" devcon enable "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0F04*" which runs from my startup folder. This works, and I now have sound without actually having to do anything manually. Not an ideal permanent solution though!

    One other thing I've now found is that if I put the machine into standby, it appears to be impossible to wake it up again. I had to resort to holding the power button down until it reset. Also, and I've seen this several times now, if the disk check runs on boot, it appears to work OK, but then I get a 0x50 BSOD (PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA) apparently caused by dump_ntoskrn8.sys. It then restarts OK.
  19. Dave-H
    Thanks, I have to say that a lot of this stuff is way over my head! So when the UAA driver first starts on boot it presumably isn't seeing the Realtek device. However it does see it if it is then stopped and restarted, which seems very odd.
  20. Dave-H
    True enough, but back on topic now please guys.
  21. Dave-H
    Yes, it's not the KB88111 driver being missing. I found a source of it here, and the versions of the two sys files are the same as the ones I've already got.
  22. Dave-H
    Sounds like a similar scenario, but my 'Microsoft UAA High Definition Audio' device is apparently working all the time, but the Realtek audio device does not appear at all until the Microsoft device is uninstalled and reinstalled or disabled and re-enabled, at which point the Realtek device appears. I wonder if there are any alternative drivers for 'Microsoft UAA High Definition Audio'? As it's an Intel based machine I wonder if there is an Intel driver that might work better.
  23. Dave-H
    @Dietmar I've discovered something else with the sound on the Flex 10. You don't have to uninstall and reinstall the 'Microsoft UAA High Definition Audio' device to get the sound back. Just disabling it is enough. If I disable it and then enable it again, the Realtek audio device magically appears and the sound works, without any messages popping up! I'm wondering if this is a timing thing. The Realtek driver works through the 'Microsoft UAA High Definition Audio' device, so is it possible that the Realtek driver is starting first before the 'Microsoft UAA High Definition Audio' device is started, and therefore it can't load?
  24. Dave-H
    OK thanks. When I did the new installs, the machine would shut down OK, but hung on restart. With my old installation with the previous acpi.sys it was using, it would restart fine, and it would partially shut down, but with the "it's now safe to turn off your computer" message so I then had to actually shut down manually. With your latest acpi.sys, it now freezes on restart, but does shut down correctly, although it takes a while to do so. I can't quite see what the difference is between restarting and shutting down as far as unloading the drivers is concerned. Surely it's the same process, so why does one hang and not the other? I would more understand it if it would restart but not shut down, but it's the other way around!
  25. Dave-H
    @Dietmar@Mov AX, 0xDEAD@George King@daniel_k@Damnation Just a thought guys. Do you think I should move the posts here which are specifically about my Lenovo Flex 10 machine to this thread? They are possibly relevant to the general discussion about ACPI for XP on newer hardware, but I don't want to hijack the thread with my own specific issues.
